Investors in Asia hoping for some relief from surging U.S. bond yields and a rampant dollar would have been deflated by remarks on Tuesday from Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell, and will likely go into Wednesday's trading with their guard up. "The recent data have clearly not given us greater confidence and instead indicate that it's likely to take longer than expected to achieve that confidence," Powell said in Washington, a signal to the world that inflation is not coming down towards the central bank's 2% target as quickly as expected and so interest rates will have to stay higher for longer. 'Higher for longer' would also seem to apply to the U.S. dollar, Treasury bond yields and financial conditions indexes - a sub-optimal mix for Asian assets, which are already feeling the heat.  ( 70 min )

The company that provided Donald Trump with a $175 million bond in his New York civil fraud case said it had "substantial financial credibility," and rejected a suggestion by the state's attorney general that it wasn't qualified to provide help.
